DESCRIPTION:      FACES OF HAITI 2005  	With the approach of the first anniversary of 
 the US-sponsored coup and the ouster of democratically-elected President 
 Aristide, a slide presentation and discussion will provide details of what 
 life is like today for most of Haiti’s people. The program is scheduled 
 for 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 23, 2005, at the First United Methodist 
 Church, 9 Ross Valley Drive (at Fourth Street), San Rafael.  Two members of 
 the Let Haiti Live Women’s Delegation will describe current problems 
 facing women as a result of last February’s regime change. From January 
 13-22, 2005, the delegation visited several geographical areas in Haiti and 
 interviewed women from a broad range of backgrounds. The focus of the trip 
 was on the social, economic, and political challenges facing women, 
 including women’s health, HIV/AIDS, violence against women, human rights, 
 and labor rights. In Port au Prince they interviewed representatives of 
 several women’s cooperatives. The delegation also visited a highly 
 successful community-based health clinic in an outlying village.    Members 
 of the Marin Interfaith Task Force on the Americas will share highlights of 
 their experience at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, from 
 January 26-31. MITF was instrumental in arranging the Haiti Workshop at the 
 Forum and sponsored the participation of Haitian nationals, who clearly 
 presented details of the worst humanitarian crisis in our hemisphere to the 
 largest gathering of progressive non-governmental organizations and 
 individuals in the world.    A $5-10 donation is requested. No one turned 
 away for lack of funds. For more information, please call 415/924-3227. 
 This venue is wheelchair accessible.  ###  \n
